You don't fall for your brother's high school sweetheart, your boss's daughter, or your ex-wife's best friend. Especially when they're all the same woman. Under Brick Callan's mile-wide chest beats a loyal heart with a few cracks in it. He's the steadfast, overprotective type. Especially when it comes to the one woman he can never have. It's a long, complicated history punctuated by fights, friendship, family, and an attraction that strains his iron willpower. When Remi Ford returns to Mackinac Island in the dead of winter with a secret, Brick makes it his mission to find out what put the shadows in those green eyes. Even if it means breaking down the walls he's built between them. Even if it means falling for the one girl he'll never get over. The free-spirited artist just needs to lay low for a few weeks so she can figure a way out of this nightmare. She's definitely not staying. Not when the man who broke her teenage heart into splinters keeps showing up at her parents' dinner table. Remi doesn't need broody, bearded Brick riding to her rescue...again. Not when it will put them both in danger, costing them much more than their hearts. Author's Note: Frenemies-to-lovers. Opposites attract. Slow burn. Girl in danger. Glorious, glorious banter. Fighting as foreplay. Small-town shenanigans. Big, grumpy, pining, overprotective hero. Wild-child, trouble-finding heroine who keeps on pushing the hero's buttons. Steam Level: Lava. Suspense: Nail-biting. Feels: Big time.

Anything by Lucy score is a win for me.
This was so good and so interesting. The characters had depth and growth, I felt like I was there with them.
The drama was so fun and unique, and Remi is so funny. How she teases Brick and pushes his buttons is so funny.
He is her Ex's older brother; and best friends ex-husband. So slightly forbidden but not really because everyone is single.
Brick is protective AF. He's a cop on the small town island, but he is a FORCE. Like, don't even think about putting Remi in harm or he will lose it.
Leave it to Mrs. Lucy! This one, honestly, took me a minute to really get into. I know Lucy's books are kind of slow burn, but this one took longer than I expected. But the middle to end was REALLY good. I enjoyed the character development and Remi always getting herself into trouble. I could definitely see a sequel with some other characters. I wouldn't be mad about it lol. But it also ended on a really good note and gave closure. I can't wait for more books from this author!
